Hello Kitty Cupcakes

Here’s a cupcake decorating idea that would appeal to girls and women alike – Hello Kitty Cupcakes! It is very easy to make and very cute too.

The first thing you need to do is frost your cupcake with white buttercream icing. Take a large marshmallow and cut it diagonally in half using a sharp pair of scissors. The cut marshmallow should look like a cat’s ear. You might want to further cut them in half to fully resemble Hello Kitty’s ears.

Push the marshmallow ears unto the sides of cupcake. Take a dollop of white frosting and smooth it over the ears to secure it properly and to eliminate any gaps. If you have trouble smoothing the icing properly, you can dip in your spatula in hot water and then smooth the icing. Just make sure that you have wiped off any water before using the spatula.

Grab your piping bag with red frosting and pipe in Hello Kitty’s bow on the upper right side of the cupcake, near one ear. To make the bow, create to small circles and join them together by piping a smaller circle in the middle.

For Hello Kitty’s whiskers, use black frosting and pipe in three short whiskers on both sides of the cupcake. Use the black frosting for the eyes and a yellow colored one for the nose.
